I’m a certified IFMGA mountain guide and canyoning guide living in the small and famous town of Bled, in Slovenia.

I started rock climbing at the age of 5. From that time on, the mountains became my playground. During my childhood, I took part in many rock climbing competitions. When I was 12, my twin brother and I did our first multi-pitch climb on a 350 m wall.

By the age of 16, I started competing in ice climbing world cups and later on skydiving junior world cups. In fact, in 2008 I became the world champion at the UIAA Ice Climbing Overall Ranking in speed ice climbing.

I climbed in many different countries like Peru, South Korea, Switzerland, France and Italy. However, Slovenia is the place I like the most.

Among other significant achievements, I did the first winter ascent (from the bottom of the wall) in Sphinx, the most difficult route in the mythical North Face of Mt Triglav. Besides, I got the first place for males at the IFMGA International mountain guide climbing championship in 2017.

I like sharing moments with people, especially in mountains. Feel free to join me in the highest mountains, steepest walls and many other Alpine wonders. I’m flexible, so we can also research places in other countries worldwide. Deep canyons, emerald rivers, beautiful mountains, great people, a good laugh, you name it.

I look forward to meeting you!

Reviews with photos

The guides were both amazing . They were real teachers and patient and very knowledgeable. I felt safe the whole time. They also were photo takers which was honestly a major positive contributing factor. I want to focus on my climb and not taking pictures and they took so many and it was really wonderful.  5
A sensational experience. I booked the Triglav winter climb as a "Bucket List" dream. It did not disappoint. I have very little experience of mount climbing but felt very safe throughout. The guides supported our groups needs and made sure we had the best time possible. The photo's they provided us of the experience were a great reminder. You need to have a reasonable level of fitness but they take care of the rest. 10/10.5

Incredible day :) Highly recommend ~ - My guide was thoughtful, easy-going, witty and eager to impart good climbing etiquette. We shared great conversation and had lots of fun together! A true highlight on my time whilst travelling. - The picking up/ drop off was handy
